Life happens. In the most challenging moments, it helps to have a therapist who is prepared to help you navigate life's challenges with a holistic perspective. I have years of experience helping clients navigate difficult individual pressures associated with communication, anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal conflict, and grief. At its best, therapy explores the intersection of one's mind (thoughts and emotions), body (physical responses), and spirit (sense of meaning and purpose). My approach to therapy is oriented toward the 'whole self'. I journey with clients to discover healthier paths and meaningful life change.

Life can be filled with unexpected twists and uncertainty. I would like to provide you with guidance for prioritizing your goals to assist you with becoming your best self that will be achieved not just through what we discuss, but also through homework that will be tailored to your needs. It can certainly feel at times that our personal and professional relationships are not moving in the direction or at the speed that we would like for them. Hopefully at the end of this journey, you will feel equipped with tools to build & sustain meaningful connections romantically, professionally, and within your family. Even the most focused and productive person can direct their energy into things that are not fulfilling or that may not feel as if it’s a direction towards what they choose to accomplish in life. Sometimes it can feel like running in place – not moving forward in the areas you really want to improve. The first step of this process will allow you to set goals for the therapeutic journey but also set priorities for the rank order for addressing your needs in the various areas of your life that you’re seeking to change. You have taken the first best step to becoming the best version of yourself and I am grateful to be apart of your journey.
You've made an important decision to start therapy. I'm glad you're here. It has been said therapy with me is like talking to your "auntie". I will help you see yourself but in such a nurturing way you receive it, and it allows you to do your work.
My gifting is in assessment and working with adults and couples. I have always worked in some form of mental health assessment in my career. Most recently I spent 5 years in Grady’s Psychiatric ER. Allowing me to quickly assess needs and develop a life plan with the client.
Couple work is also a skilled area for me. Especially when communication has broken down evidenced by constant arguing. Therapy can break couples out of the destructive tit-for-tat cycle. Broken trust, infidelity and unforgiveness are also areas I specialize in.
Women’s concerns and issues are important to me. I’ve done extensive work in healing their “father wound”. Tapping the spiritual relationship for healing. Topics include relationships, self development and growth. Another very successful service is my therapeutic walkthrough of popular books. Titles have included RC Blakes’ Queenology and Sophia Nelson’s The Woman Code. Currently, I am authoring The Majestic Woman Mindset, which comes from a woman’s empowerment curriculum I developed.

Hi. I am Cara Dixon, a licensed psychotherapist. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia and Nevada. I use Cognitive Behavioral approach to psychotherapy. This approach allows clients to look at their thought patterns and make changes with practice. I also take a wholistic approach to overall wellness to include a person's: mind, body, spirit, and their emotions.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia. I hold a master’s in clinical Mental Health Counseling and a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. I create a supportive, empathetic, non-judgmental space for healing. I work with diverse clients, guiding them on their journey towards emotional wellness and personal growth. My passion is empowering you to reach your fullest potential, ensuring each step we take together leads you to a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through life’s most complex emotional terrain. I specialize in trauma-informed care, helping clients navigate anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, and identity shifts with compassion and clarity. I work primarily with adults who are ready to explore their inner world, reconnect with their values, and build healthier patterns in their lives. My approach is grounded, collaborative, and deeply human—empowering clients to feel seen, understood, and capable of meaningful change.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been counseling clients dealing with a variety of mental, emotional, and relational issues for over 16 years. I have counseled adolescents, adults, families, couples and groups. I decided to pursue a doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy because I realized the impact that our families, and society as well, have on our mental and emotional development. The impact is both positive and negative and may manifest as depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, a lack of a sense of self and other mental and emotional disorders.
In counseling, I help clients explore those influences and the impact on their life. My specialties then center around helping clients gain insight into those influences, become more empowered, develop a stronger sense of self, and take steps to become who they really are; thereby addressing mental and emotional health issues.
It's important to note that many times, experiences unfortunately include trauma and loss. It may be childhood or other trauma. Identifying, acknowledging and processing trauma and loss is therefore often a part of the process of becoming more empowered and developing that strong sense of self described above.
.
I have been a licensed professional counselor for over 12 years. I strive to have a caring ear, an understanding heart and to be respectful to each person's cultural background and experience.
I seek to empower individuals to:
*Reach their personal goals and gain insight,
*Heal and resolve past traumas and current stressors,
*Improve the quality of their life.
I embrace a strength-based perspective. I am interactive and seek to offer tools that improve the lives of children, adults, families and marriages.
My treatment approaches are individualized to each person's needs.
Hi, I'm Shelley!
Do you feel like you are stuck in a cycle and can't get out? Do you feel unseen and unwanted? Are you struggling with showing yourself grace and mercy?
I help people who are struggling with life issues develop better skills to cope with and redirect their lives in the way that makes them more genuine with themselves and others. Together, we explore how you view the world and if your view or thinking patterns can be adjusted to help you grow. I specialize in helping teens and adults work on symptoms of depression, anxiety, self-harming behaviors, life stressors, and life transitions.
My goal as a therapist is to be open, honest, genuine. I will provide unconditional positive regard. I love mixing talk therapy with things you can use daily to improve your view of yourself and your life. Therapy can be scary, being open to someone you don't know is risky. I want to provide a safe space for you to be yourself. I look forward to meeting you!
Shelley
Welcome! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia. I have been working in the behavioral health field for 10 years but have 7 years of post-graduate (MSW) experience. I have worked with children, teens and adults in a variety of settings. Primarily, my work has been with adults of all ages experiencing issues with addiction and co-occurring disorders including anxiety, PTSD and mood disorders. I have also worked in the crisis setting during which I helped clients through some of their most vulnerable moments.
I like to view psychotherapy and the therapeutic relationship as having a personal trainer for your emotional well being and personal life. It can teach relational skills and promote healing. It requires a commitment to yourself and serves as an investment. The return on that investment can be achieving goals, growth, and emotional satisfaction.
There are many reasons someone may seek out a therapist, regardless of those reasons my goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where we can build a trusting therapeutic relationship that allows for healing and growth.
I am a Licensed Psychotherapist with over 30 years of clinical experience specializing in grief and loss, trauma, PTSD, addiction, mood disorders, suicidal ideation and crisis intervention. I enjoy working with diverse cliental across all stages of life.
Do you feel you are everywhere and nowhere simultaneously? Are you struggling to figure out how to find balance or real happiness? Do you want to change your life but just don't know how?
Hi, I am Crystal and I am here to help!
But HOW can I help, you may be thinking? Well, I can provide you with a safe and non judgemental space in which you can re-focus on what is truly important to you by walking along side of you on your therapeutic journey of self-awareness. Together we will develop a treatment plan that will help us reach your desired outcomes. I have found that incorporating the arts into therapy is quite beneficial since sometimes words can not capture our emotions as intensely or as accurately as a song or piece of art can. I also love to use mindfulness and bibliotherapy with clients and have been amazed at the success of using all of these approaches.
You have taken the first step towards your new life already by researching which led you here. Won't you take that next step and connect today so that we can begin your journey? Change is hard, but I will be here to support you every step of the way!

west central Georgia and east central Alabama. I graduated from the University of Georgia's MSW program in 1993 and became an LCSW in 1996. I have worked in home health and hospice for most of my career with a strong emphasis on geriatrics and dementia care. I have experience in inpatient psychiatric settings and residential services as well.
I am looking to fill a niche that I have seen wanting attention for some time. For many years I have seen elders and their families in their homes but had to refer out any counseling other than crisis intervention to outpatient therapists. The problem is that I have been referring homebound people for outpatient therapy. This is not effective for many reasons.
With the help of Grow Therapy, I intend to offer my services of counseling and case management to people in the comfort of their own homes. I will become a mobile mental health provider to serve a population that has gone largely underserved for all too long. My coverage area for in-home therapy will be Lee, Russell, and Chambers counties in Alabama as well as Muscogee, Chattahoochee, and Harris Counties in Georgia.
I am opening up limited appointment times for virtual counseling as of mid May 2024.
